03 <br /> 1 <br /> the Water Quality Critical Area (WQCA) District. The <br /> proposed amendment would remove these designations from <br /> the property and replace it with a new overlay zoning <br /> district designation - the University Lake Watershed <br /> (ULW) District. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE <br /> The proposed amendments to the Orange County Zoning <br /> Ordinance are as follows: <br /> 1 . Amend Article 4 .2 .27 Protected Watershed II (PW-II) <br /> District and Article 4.2 .28 Water Quality Critical Area <br /> (WQCA) District by deleting existing references to <br /> University Lake watershed, thus eliminating that <br /> watershed from the requirements of the PW-II and WQCA <br /> overlay zoning districts . <br /> 2 . Amend Article 4 .2 . 30 Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) <br /> District by renumbering the Article to 4 .2 . 31, thus <br /> providing space for a new Article 4 .2 .30 which <br /> establishes the University Lake Watershed (ULW) <br /> District. <br /> 3 . Amend Article 4 by adding a new article 4.2 . 30 which <br /> establishes a new overlay zoning district entitled the <br /> University Lake Watershed (ULW) District for the purpose <br /> of preventing significant water quality deterioration in <br /> University Lake. This goal may be achieved through <br /> either of two separate options or by some combination of <br /> the two. The two options include: ( 1) the application of <br /> land use controls (five-acre zoning) to reduce <br /> pollution; and (2 ) structural controls, including <br /> existing two-acre zoning and the installation of on-site <br /> stormwater detention ponds to trap pollution. <br /> 4 . Amend Article 6 . 15.2 Interim Development Standards <br /> Approved by establishing a new set of temporary <br /> development standards applicable within University Lake <br /> watershed. Under the proposed standards, community <br /> alternative treatment systems and public water <br /> extensions would not be permitted in the watershed until <br /> April 30, 1991 . For public sewer extensions, two options <br /> are proposed: ( 1) temporary restrictions through April <br /> 30, 1991 except to remedy a public health emergency; and <br /> (2) a permanent prohibition on extensions except to <br /> remedy a public health emergency. In the case of the <br /> temporary restrictions, studies would be undertaken <br /> during the interim period to determine the advisability <br /> of allowing such systems/services in the watershed. <br /> 5. Amend Article 6.25 Extra Requirements for the Major <br /> Transportation Corridor IMTC) District by renumbering <br /> the Article to 6.26, thus providing space for a new <br />
